We spent both last night and tonight in downtown Ann Arbor taking in the sites, smells, tastes, and sounds of the Top of the Park Summer 
Festival. We look forward to this local annual tradition and try to make it to the month long festival evenings as often as possible, and both the weather and the entertainment this weekend made it the perfect opportunity. Who can pass up the chance to watch people performing a modern theatrical dance routine from atop 4 meter fiber glass poles? We enjoyed them enough the first night to take 
them in again tonight, this time from much closer seats, and the second time was the charm - being almost underneath the performers made all the difference and Calvin even sat still for 15 out of the 20 minutes of the performance, sitting in his stroller, bouncing up and down in time with the music (yes, we swear that he is already developing a good sense of rhythm), his eyes glued to those 
strange people high over his head, a wide smile glued on his face. This wonderful performing group goes by the name of Strange Fruit, appropriate since strange would definitely describe it - strange and really cool. Coincidentally, that is probably what Calvin thought of the raspberry sorbet that his gram was feeding him - with each tiny bite he would shiver, then giggle, then ask for more. That continued for only a few bites, though, before he decided that darting in and out of the sidewalk traffic was way more fun and got him way more attention from his adoring fans (read: strangers walking by).
There are, of course, lots more Strange Fruit pictures in this week's photo album.
